My Parents

i am so sorry for your loss. i cant even imagine the pain you feel. My pop is 76 years old, and mom is 75 years old. Dad is still into the car stuff, but he moves slower than he used to. i talk to my folks every morning on my way to work since i live half way across the country from them. i get to see them mebbe 2 to 3 times a year. but our 20 minutes every morning is a thing we have been doing for the past 18 years.

please i urge all of you who still have one or both of your parents with you to please take some time out of your day to call and talk to them. if you live close enough to go over for a visit a couple times a week please do so. the one thing you can never get back is the time you should have spent with them. but the memories you will have from taking time to spend with them you will have for the rest of your lives. i know i will be upset when my folks pass away , however i know that i have the memories of all the things we talked about, tho i am 1,900 miles away from them i am as close as a phone call.

sounds like you made your mom a wonderful anniversary meal. she needs your support now more than ever, sounds like your dad was a swell guy. mebbe thru your mom you can learn more about your dad thru things she can tell you about him. what a great way to honor him, and keep his memory alive is to share his life with your children and grand children.

its hard to talk about the loss of a loved one, what exactly do you say. the pain never goes away. but talking about the good times helps ease the pain.
